Description of problem: I created a spare encrypted LVM volume group for testing rawhide (and one for F13 too) on my new Macbook. I cloned the existing updated F12 install and then did an upgrade to rawhide. It does boot, and it does run X but the gnome-panel is not displayed (it is running). If I kill it, it reloads as an emply 1 inch width bar at the top of the screen. If I remove the home directory and copy /etc/skel, the same happens. There were a few segfaults (actually many segfaults) in gconf during the upgrade process and so I'm concerned something went awry. Is there some gconf managed global resource I need to regenerate that's not taken care of by wiping out the home directory?
How did you upgrade? preupgrade? If you did a "live", note we expect things to crash/break. Did abrt catch any of the gconf crashes from after you rebooted?
It could be that some schemas were not installed, if gconftool was crashing doing the update. You can manually reinstall all schema files by running (as root): sudo su - export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=$(gconftool-2 --get-default-source) for f in /etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas; do gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule $f done Once your schemas are properly installed, you may need to run gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel to reset your panel configuration to the proper defaults. Do you have any details about that crashes?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
